Hotel television captioning - strange dichotomy

I am a frequent traveler and I am hearing. Ocassionally, when my wife (who is deaf) travels with me, we will stay in our room and watch one of the pay-per-play movies. We try and watch the first-run movies. Some hotels have these movies captioned; some don't. Now since we're typically trying to watch movies that are still in the theatres, and if all of these hotels have to get the films from the movie studios at some point, couldn't they be captioned before they're put into the hotels?

Why is there such disparity between hotels when it comes to the captioned movies?
